• Volcano Watch — Remembering the 1926 Mauna Loa eruption a century later (usgs.gov) — Two small earthquakes were recorded just south and northwest of Honaunau-Napoopoo this week, as scientists continue to closely watch Mauna Loa and Kīlauea. The piece looks back at the destructive 1926 Mauna Loa eruption in South Kona, explains how aerial surveys and traffic control evolved, and notes that Mauna Loa is currently quiet while Kīlauea’s next summit fountaining episode is expected soon.
